  • Waterfront Line Phase II Briefing Paper
    Waterfront Line Phase II briefing paper All Aboard Ohio, a nonprofit rail and transit advocacy organization, has formally asked the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority to include in its ongoing Next Gen system planning and 2030 Strategic Planning processes a review options for improving very low and stagnant ridership on its 1996- built Downtown Waterfront extension of its light-rail Blue & Green lines. These are the options All Aboard Ohio suggested to GCRTA in a Nov. 30, 2020 letter: STATUS QUO/ROUTE MANAGEMENT: keep the route as-is but with relatively minor changes such as more advertising, revised schedules, fare-free service & more development at stations. ABANDONMENT: discontinue all service, remove tracks, stations, bridges and refunding to the Federal Transit Administration Waterfront Line state-of-good-repair funds (estimated at up to $10 million). WATERFRONT EAST EXTENSION: In 2004, the City of Cleveland’s lakefront plan (its most recent) proposed a 3.5-mile, seven-station extension of the Waterfront Line east along the CSX railroad tracks to near Bratenahl with new transit-supportive developments near most stations. DOWNTOWN LOOP EXTENSION: In 2000, following a federally compliant Major Investment Study/Alternatives Analysis, GCRTA selected as its locally preferred alternative an extension of the Waterfront Line along East 17th Street, Prospect Avenue, East 21st/22nd Streets, Community College Avenue and East 30th Street. AAO proposes a routing via East 13th Street and Euclid Avenue. All Aboard Ohio favors extending the Waterfront Line as a Downtown Loop because: GCRTA’s Waterfront Line Phase II 2000 study showed that the Downtown Loop could achieve a cost per new rider of less than $14.

MWRRI and 3C Corridor Map 5. Rail Improvement Studies Map and Cleveland Enlargement Map PARSONS Final Report BRINCKERHOFF December 2001 Northeast Ohio Commuter Rail Feasibility Study Phase II APPENDIX C - ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS Introduction The NEORail study has focused on assessing the feasibility of commuter rail as a viable transportation option for the Cleveland area. The study has compared the large number of potential rail corridors in the region to one another and against regional and national thresholds for viability, and developed a prioritization and phasing strategy that provides the best opportunity for a commuter rail network to be developed in the region. However, in order to secure the Federal funding that would be necessary to develop commuter rail service in the region, commuter rail must be compared with other alternatives that address regional and corridor-specific transportation deficiencies, and be selected as a preferred alternative. The next step in the Federally-prescribed planning process would be a Major Investment Study (MIS) or Alternatives Analysis (AA) to evaluate the relative costs, benefits and impacts of mode and general location options. This memorandum will discuss, in general terms, a variety of transportation options in each of the NEORail commuter rail corridors included in the near-term and mid-term recommendations -- Corridor 1 (Lake West/I-90), Corridor 6 (Solon-Aurora-Mantua) and Corridor 7 (Lake East/I- 90). Corridors 4 and 5, the Canton-Akron-Cleveland corridors, are the subject of an on-going MIS, will not be considered here.
